Time to start packing...

As promised, here are some more photos from today's tiling efforts. We are very pleased with the job the tilers have done so far:


En-suite floor done

Bath hob almost done

Ben spoke to PK today, and in terms of timings we are looking at the following:

  • Tilers to finish up this week. We are still waiting for the delivery of the correct tiles for the kitchen/laundry walls, and they need to start on the grouting and the hearth tiles for the fireplace. Assuming the delivery arrives soon, this deadline should be achievable.
  • Floor sanding and polishing to commence October 1st. This will take the entire week, and during this time no other trades will be able to come on site.
  • Plumbers are booked to come in for their fit-off during the week commencing October 8th
  • Shower screens will be measured this week and manufactured over the next week or so, ready for fitting during the week commencing October 8th
  • Electricians will be coming back either the week commencing October 8th or soon afterwards to complete the fitting of the remaining lights and to tidy up some of their current work.

And the most important part....at this stage we are looking at either October 22nd or October 29th for handover! Including the rest of this week, that's only about 4 or 5 weeks away...better start packing!

  1. It looks fantastic! I absolutely love your splash back it just suits the character of the house so much!

  2. Thanks Janine! As I think I mentioned in an earlier post, the border in the splashback was a last minute addition, and it was a mad rush to find something suitable! Everyone kept telling us that no-one makes border tiles in the same depth as the little square tiles, and it was only by chance that we can across them. In the end though, I'm glad we persevered as the splashback has turned out exactly like the sample picture we gave the tilers (which was just something we found in a kitchen design magazine).
